Tony Gonazlez Unhappy He Wasn't Traded - Ruh Roh
Man is this guy ever happy or what?
Evidently he wanted to be traded to play for a contender. You wanted to play for the Atlanta clowns so shut up TG your check cleared. Geez.... http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/2/7...-falcons-trade "You trade me to a team that needs me, that wants to make a serious run in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. You get something in return for a guy who you know won't be here next year. And the season isn't going anywhere anyway. That's rational." At the trade deadline, Gonzalez sat at a restaurant with his wife and waited to hear which team it would be. When that call never came, he was not happy." |

Personally, I could give 2 shits if Gonzo wants to win a champ and wanted to be traded, All I care about is if he could or can help the Chiefs win a championship. If he can, great! If he can't, then stfu.

I don't see why we have to demonize him. I'm sure he made his feelings known at the time to the team in private, which is what you should do if you want out.
Atlanta knew when he signed there it was because they were contenders and his primary motivation was to play for one. They shouldn't be surprised when they fell out of contention that he wanted to go because it would be better for both sides. |

Seems to be more of a jerk every day.

Tony Gonzales has reached DaneMcloud level of douchebaggery. Okay, maybe not quite but he's inching closer every day.

You act like a jilted lover. I don't remember him being a jerk, I just remember him wanting to be traded. Don't blame him at all, the team was starting a rebuild and his career was getting close to the end.

For the fans of Atlanta Tony G played his role as expected - the dedicated professional with only the team in mind, happy and content. But the reality is what we are hearing and is the same as the rumors before the deadline. I don't blame him for wanting a shot at a SB ring with another team - aging players in the last years of their career, it's done all the time and some even become 'legendary' for awhile. ![]() I hope he has great memories of his time in KC and goes into the Hall of Fame as a Chief.

I enjoyed watching him when he was a Chief, but once he left he became just another guy to me.

Whatever! Tony played the whole Prima Donna role perfectly here. He INITIALLY said he DID NOT WANT TO BE TRADED - then as the Oct. trading deadline neared, he changed his mind and said that IF Atlanta could improve them selves by trading him, that he would not be opposed to such a move but AGAIN STATED THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. BOTTOM LINE - IF he would have been man enough to say, "TRADE ME, " he would have been. However, THAT wasn't the case and the clock struck 12 and he was still a Falcon and no SB ring for his career. I'm a fan of Tony's, but it serves him right how it all went down. If you want something - you OWN IT, you don't play the passive-aggressive prima donna role.

The best way for Gonzo to have gotten a ring was to lead his team to a championship. As great of a player as he was he just wasn't an inspirational leader. I find the whole "trade me to a contender I deserve a ring" mentality distasteful. Gonzo needs to shut up and ride off into the sunset to his high paying TV gig.

He held all this crap in for 16 years, and now that he's retired, he decided to uncork the bottle. I expect to hear him bitch about Elvis Grbac at some point in the next week.
